The newest inductee into the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020 has been reportedly revealed.
According to an exclusive report from WINC, JBL is scheduled to be inducted into the Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 36 week. JBL has won the United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championship with Ron Simmons three times. His crowning achievement was becoming WWE Champion in 2004, where he’d serve as the face of SmackDown up until WrestleMania 21 as a part of his 280 day reign as champion.
JBL retired from in-ring competition at WrestleMania 25 in 2009 and has since made sporadic appearances for WWE before working on-and-off as a commentator. He announced in September of 2017 that he’d be walking away from WWE to focus more on humanitarian work for at-risk communities in Bermuda.
JBL joins Batista and the nWo as the confirmed names into this year’s Hall of Fame Class. As reported before, The Bella Twins, Jushin Thunder Liger and The British Bulldog are further entrants expected to be announced.
The Hall of Fame ceremony takes place on Thursday, April 2nd.
